It does not. That's like comparing apple orchards to single oranges. But if you want to just compare print volumes then the paper claims ~127cm^3/hr build rate in a prototype system with a peak extrusion rate of twice that.
Firefox is much easier and faster to compile but still complicated enough that you need to follow their build guide. Chromium is held back by Google's overzealous build systems that assume everything is built on a unified build server and permanently cached somewhere on their corporate network which results in actual build times being unoptimized.
From my reading those phrases are actually attempts to use terms a lay person can understand i.e. the opposite of esoteric. "Holographic duality" is the only phrase that is legitimately esoteric, the rest is just baby talk.
Stallman almost certainly has a different definition for "Libertarian" to you. He would most likely call your definition "Antisocialist". https://stallman.org/glossary.html
It can be a gateway for learning interesting things about the mechanics of a language, its compilation, and in turn how to make similar cases in other languages faster/cleaner/more-secure. e.g. why is nim so fast in this case? Is it tail call optimisation, not doing overflow checks, static inlining, or something else? Nim compiles to c to it is especially odd.
